Yes, episode one has to put claire through the stones--otherwise, what's the point? a whole hour of that landlady vacuuming and putting her ear to the door, rev. wakefield and mini-roger, and tea and crumpets. no thanks. what...? Michele Dockery as Claire--NOOOOOO!!! too skinny, and it would take months at the all-you-can eat buffet for her to come up to Claire's plumpness in the arse, etc. don't think that's possible!

and I agree with Lara, as I too wanted to be a part of this conversation!

I missed the chat tonight! Dang! But have you guys talked about Ann Pirvu's twitter? How she's playing up Outlander BIG? I don't know if she got the part, but she's hinting at it pretty hardcore. Just wanted your take on it! :) I thought her VIMEO audition was okay. She looks a bit more like a Jenny than a Claire, but that reel is just a few minutes long. And I'm sure the chemistry with Sam is what really makes it/breaks it. So exciting, either way! i just thought it was interesting that she's Outlandering all over her twitter feed.
